Hope everyone in e30 land is well! I've been wanting to colour code my standard hardtop for some time but I can't for the life of me find someone that will do it for me. I've heard its a bit of a pig of a job however I'm sure someone here can do them or know someone that can do this for me and do a cracking job. I'm based in Portsmouth, Hampshire so nice and local would be ideal! Any help would be great, thanks.

just getting mine done in Sheffield for 150 quid. a weissmann one. just remember never rub it down past the gel coat and make sure you use a good sealant and the appropriate primer and top coat. theres plenty of choices for fibre glass. dont see it as a pig of a job with a good sprayer. rubbed mine doen myself with a rotary sander to remover the majority of the original finish, used earth wire under the window seal so it didint get damaged as i sanded up to the edge, i didnt want to remove the window glass but also didint want to catch the nice shiney seal.
